Royalty News from Jenni Belland Jr. Royalty, 2010 – games
I am so excited to be representing the Scandia Riders Saddle Club…..it seemed like it took
forever to find out the results!! But I sure am happy with them!
Well, at the last club meeting, Sarah Kilgriff, SRSC’s 2010 Queen, presented us with our new
Royalty Club jackets. They are so Cool! I wear mine whenever I can.
On April 28 th , Sarah and I went to the Rick-A-Shay Ranch to help out with the shots clinic. It
was our first chance to wear our hats with our crowns.
Next will be the 2010 Horse Expo, coming up April 23 rd -25 th . The Royalty will be
volunteering back at the children’s pony ride area and we sure hope you come and visit us there. It is
going to be so much fun, I can’t wait. Then starts all the competitions for this year and my salute
rides.
Whoo hoo! Giddy up! Jenni

~ Meet Lois Greiman ~
A few years ago Colleen, the thimble-sized girl in the picture, decided it would be
fun to do the rescue race. So she and my son, Travis, began competing together. But
when Travis went off to college, Colleen was left without a partner so I took over
as the rescuer. And it is fun, though we find ourselves in the dirt a little more
often than we do racing across the finish line.
We are looking for used
trophies to recycle for our
closed shows. If you have
any bowling, horse, sport
type trophies we would like
to recycle and re-use.
